We received our first Campines almost 9 years ago. I was told they were flighty and nervous. I could not say this was the case. We had such a wonderful experience with ours. They would jump up on top of our shoulders/heads and were very inquisitive. One in particular became the head of the flock and stayed the matriarch until her death late last year at 8 years of age. She was awesome. She looked after everyone and was a great leader. The incumbent has not done as well. They are great foragers and need less supplemental feed. They LAY. Lay, lay, lay. Perfect little white eggs. For years! Do not coop them up. Let them range. Beautiful, friendly birds.

My Golden Campine hen is one of my favorite in my flock. For a relatively small bird it holds up very well against my heavier hen varieties. She is nothing to take care of and regularly lays a nice size egg. I thought she would be a "flighty" bird she is cautious but not "flighty".
